Helms is formally charged with Class X felony armed robbery and with felony counts of robbery, aggravated robbery and theft. It is believed Godsil was at least charged with Class X felony armed robbery/accountability, according to a Galesburg police report, but he could have been charged with other offenses under the accountability theory.

That means the accused, or one for whose conduct the defendant is legally responsible, committed the alleged acts.

The duo are charged with allegedly taking cash while Helms reportedly displayed a firearm during an incident Tuesday night that was reported to police at about 10:37 p.m. Tuesday.

According to a Galesburg police report, there are two accounts of the incident.

Two Galesburg men told police they were in a car traveling northbound on Cedar Street north of Fremont Street when a car passed their vehicle, drove in front of them and stopped. It was alleged that Helms, armed with a gun, and Godsil got out of the car in the 1200 block of North Cedar Street, Helms pointed a gun at the driver and demanded cash.

The driver reportedly gave about $200 in cash to Helms, who then returned to the vehicle and had Godsil drive away, but before leaving, Godsil is said to have backed into the front bumper of the car. The victim then followed the duo for a few blocks before calling in the incident to police.

When Godsil was arrested at his home in the 1700 block of Baird Avenue, a vehicle was found there with a paint transfer on its rear bumper. In an interview with police, Godsil said he picked up Helms from Circle K and drove him to the former Aldi parking lot at Main and Henderson streets for a reported drug deal.

After a few minutes of Helms being in another vehicle, he ran out of the car and told Godsil to leave. The other vehicle followed them and allegedly rammed them before Godsil pulled over into a parking lot near Thornton's on North Henderson Street.

The other car pulled up next to Godsil and, at that point, Helms allegedly pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and pointed it across Godsil's body at the other vehicle. Both vehicles then departed at that point and Godsil allegedly returned Helms to his car at Circle K.

Circuit Judge Raymond Cavanaugh set bail at $100,000, $10,000 needed to get out of jail, for Helms during his video court hearing. The Galesburg man was also appointed a public defender.

It is not known what happened during Godsil's juvenile hearing Thursday as those are closed off to the public.
